Carlos Tevez an Argentinian striker playing for the English club Manchester City last night refused to come off the substitutes bench to play in a Champions League game in Germany because he was..........."upset".
Tevez, who cost man city a transfer fee of over $60 million two years ago plus his weekly wage of over $300,000, refused to get up and replace one of his fellow strikers late in the game.
Manager Roberto Mancini was incensed as were his teammates and Manchester city fans over 3000 of whom made the long trip to Germany to watch City play.
Tevez who is now unhappy at City wanted a transfer away from the club in the summer but it never materalised, there are now calls for Tevez to be facing legal action for breach of contract.
Has this ever happened in American football?
